In post 28 we are informed that the insurance company is ok with friends staying at the house.
I would read that entire insurance policy and speak to an agent. It's very rare for a home owner's insurance policy to cover a tenant. It will cover guests, but not tenants.....two totally different things.

Where in the op or post 28 does it say they will be paying rent. Renumeration, even for utilities, is never mentioned by the op. If it was, I missed it.

One doesn't have to pay rent to be considered a tenant under many state laws.
I don't have it wrong. Don't know where you came up with that.
She said:
[i].......she has friends who have wanted to sell their house for several years but because of its location and what they paid that has been difficult to do
Which has what to do with anything I mentioned?
Now if you want to call her a liar or blame the woman for not going BALLISTIC when the husband said YES ON HIS OWN, then fine. But let's not change what actually happened just to beat up on the wife (further).
She OBVIOUSLY isn't the type to fight her family when they're being obnoxious and disregard her opinions and feelings.
In addition, there is certainly a distinction to be made between "not discussing" a topic and "not really discussing." There's that extra little word in there that drastically changes the meaning. She repeated similar language on post #28. All this means is that she and her husband did discuss the topic and now she's having second thoughts. The last comment from the OP I read indicates the loan of the property will occur and going "BALLISTIC" did not. No one here called the woman a "liar" or changed what actually happened but certainly those who have a tough time with reading comprehension may believe that to be true.
You should be the one to make the call, it's your house. No, I would not expect the friends to call. Why would they? Daughter asked dad, dad says yes, daughter tells friends it's all cool. Daughter has keys, so I don't see any reason why they would call you or you would expect them to.
The beef s/b with the DH, not the DD. If it were me, I'd make the call & I would rescind the invite your DH offered. I like the idea of blaming the insurance company, if you need someone to blame. Me? I'd have no problem saying there was a sorry, but after further discussion, we've decided it won't work out & you can't use the house. No details or explanations necessary. No way would I allow someone I don't want staying in my vacation home b/c my DH told them they could. I would also be livid with DH & have a lot of discussing to do with him.
You left out a key point or two in the timeline: Daughter asked Mom and Dad; Mom and Dad discussed situation; Dad, without objection from Mom, says yes, daughter tells friends it's all cool, Mom has second thoughts, starts City-data topic.
So, assuming the house is jointly owned by the husband and wife, you believe the wife has more of a right to deny use of the house than the husband has to grant it? Please explain.

Every married man knows this. Ignore that and just watch at what can suddenly be denied on a whim...

Yeah but unfortunately we have many people (including some RE professionals who should know better) just advising to do a formal lease agreement - and with no mention of all of the implications of this (insurance and many other things).

It is quite possible that what OP meant by "not really discussing" was that she and her husband talked about it briefly, but did not come to an agreement on what to do.

OP never said that she initially had no objection.
You seem determined to bully OP into feeling like she absolutely must let these people stay in her home. She prefers not to. That, and that alone, should settle the matter.
I'm starting to think you are either OPs daughter or the wannabe-freeloading friends.
